EI’s Jeff Rissman says a technology-neutral clean products standard that allows companies to find innovative ways to produce a given material can maximize flexibility, and lead to investments in research and development that help the U.S. remain a technology leader.

EI’s Sonia Aggarwal says the economics of renewables mean we can get to a 100 percent clean electricity grid much faster and cheaper than we thought.

EI’s Robbie Orvis says one of the most significant policies Virginia could enact to deepen emissions reductions would be a zero-emissions vehicle sales standard similar to California’s, which essentially ends new gas-powered car sales by 2035.

EI’s Robbie Orvis says policies to achieve deep decarbonization across the economy stimulate economic growth and create jobs, as demonstrated by modeling using the new Virginia Energy Policy Simulator.

EI’s Eric Gimon explains the economics that make 75 percent of all existing coal plants in the United States more expensive to run than investing in new wind or solar, and how policies can support a rapid transition to 90 percent clean electricity by 2035.

EI’s Robbie Orvis explains how to cost-effectively design renewable energy and electric vehicle policies to drive deep emission reductions, providing examples of successful policies in Germany, Japan, and the United States.

EI’s Robbie Orvis says a new Biden Administration can use clean energy policies that reduce emissions to also create jobs and spur economic recovery.

EI’s Amanda Myers notes the transportation sector is responsible for more than 15 percent of annual global emissions, contributing more than the entire electricity generation sector in the U.S. and U.K., and has the fastest growing emissions worldwide.

EI’s Sara Baldwin says over the past five years there has been a tidal shift from the global level to the local level toward renewables and electrification and this movement isn’t going away.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle says now is the time for the Department of Energy to invest in important future storage applications that can help solve renewable integration issues at very high penetrations of variable wind and solar energy.
